Tan wall tyres with reflective stripe ?

Post by tenbikes »

I've been looking for tan / skin / Amber wall tyres with a reflective stripe but can't seem to find any.

26x1.75

Lots of black wall plus reflection, or tan wall without.....

Unicorn product ??

Why not paint on stripes?

I kept the orange reflectors attached to the spokes for this reason.

I saw those but 1.75" is the maximum the frame will take. ...

That's odd cos 26" is usually mtb territory. Is it an old bike?

26" is indeed usually mtb territory. But not always.

If you can't find the tyres you want, how about some Salzmann spoke reflectors instead, like these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Salzmann-Refle ... B07QC2NMJW. They are pretty unobtrusive during the day but show up well at night, and don't unbalance the wheel.

Or round the world touring, it's a stronger wheel and for that reason, available in the developing world.
